Nick:
Faction: Dunland
(note that this appeal is about F1's ban as well)
Reason for ban: I was talking to people, which they saw as harrasment. They didn't tell me they saw it that way, and they didn't tell me it bothered them. They went strait to the staff members, with misleading proof, and I got banned.
Time banned for: was 7 days, probably perm now.
Date banned: 7/20/2019
Reason for appeal: I want the problem to be recognised and looked at. The same goes for F1's ban.
Actual Appeal:
I am really disappointed in this server. I thought that when I would come back after yet another year, it would be as great as ever. What I actually get is this shit hole in which people don't respect you and don't care for your rights.
When we get banned the staff isn't there to explain us what we did wrong. We have to ask what we did wrong. I get sent back a picture of 4 things I said in chat. Yeah, I got banned for saying 4 sentences. The guy that reported these sentences, didn't approach me before reporting, but just went straight to staff. This makes me believe he just wanted me to get banned, because he didn't like me that well. I tried to ask him if this was true, and I tried apologising, but I got no response while trying.
This honestly makes me feel harassed/bullied myself, as nobody seems to care for me. While I try to get staff to talk with me about my problem, people send messages in staff help calling me an idiot and saying they think my ban is earned, but they don't even seem to know the situation. Then I finally get a reaction from the owner, basically saying I need to shut up and don't complain. I would also like to addres that this so called owner is almost never online, and is responsible for what I see as the destruction of a better working staff team. This makes me not respect him. I think that staff should take this thread seriously and I hope they don't just return it with the message that I need to respect them in my ban appeal. This is just an honest representation of how I see and feel about the situation. I would like to get a honest representation of how the staff looks at my (and F1's) ban back. I also don't know how I have to apologise, as i don't really see the problem. I know this is not a real ban appeal, but I don't know how I can address my problems in a different way, as I am banned from the discord and server.

Kerhoffje and F1lol1f,
We've had multiple complaints about you being disrespectful and toxic in the community. It was a consistent problem when you played before, and after giving you both significant time to prove us otherwise, it remained a consistent problem when you came back.
You were not banned because of "4 sentences" you were banned for a continued disrespect for players and the staff and the server itself. Even now, you continue to insult rather than calmly reason.
YOU had the chance when you first rejoined the server to be respectful, positive members of this community. But you did not. You taunted and harassed and insulted right from the beginning. Saying that your reputation of being toxic CAUSED you to be toxic is SUCHHHHH bullshit. YOU are in control of your actions. YOU have the power to not be toxic REGARDLESS of what other people think of you. If YOU felt like you were being bullied unfairly, then YOU had the power to calmly and respectfully report the issue to staff. But YOU did not. YOU continued to provoke and antagonize and prove that YOU actually ARE toxic.
If you want respect, you have to give it first. You are the cause of the problem, and you continue to handle the problem in the wrong ways. Calling the server a "shithole" is not mature, respectful, or anything other than toxic. You have proven everyone right: Your reputation is true. You ARE toxic. You ARE rude. And your actions are not a result of your reputation, your reputation is a result of your actions.
And about my activity. Not that it's your place, but I am a very busy individual, and frankly, I don't really have time to sort out every single conflict in-game. That is the reason we have moderators and helpers. They are there to handle the in-game issues. I shouldn't even have to get involved. MY job is to make sure the server keeps running, to do my best to improve the server through additions and fun things and to manage my staff team. My job is not to moderate all the bs that goes on in-game. (That's why I'm called "Owner", not "Moderator")
You've demonstrated that you do not respect this server's rules and community and are therefore no longer welcome here.
Have a good day,
-Phoenix
(P.S. Those players that reported you actually did the right thing. Any problems with players are supposed to be reported immediately to staff.)
